Banks was also asked about the recent changes to Fish Camp by computer engineering junior and chair of the Student Services committee Fawaz Syed. Syed focused his questions on the recent changes to Fish Camp’s values and mission statement, specifically the removal of “diversity.”

”Do you support the office of the [Vice President of Student Affairs’] decision to require or expect Fish Camp to force a change in their mission and values which removed diversity as one of their values and removed ‘creating a universally accepted support system’ from their mission?” Syed asked.

Banks said the change was because the values of Fish Camp are supposed to mirror those of the university.

“In the mission statement, there is a clear statement that Fish Camp is to ‘share the values and traditions of Texas A&M University,’” Banks said. “It is important that we align the values of that event with the mission statement.”
